Apple Creek Campground Reviews — De Pere, WI

Campers frequently report issues with unclean or poorly maintained facilities, especially bathrooms and showers. Several reviews mention broken or dirty amenities, with some guests calling the showers 'disgusting.' There are also remarks about certain areas of the grounds and seasonal sites being neglected. While a handful of reviews highlight clean bathrooms or individual sites, the dominant pattern is one of dissatisfaction with cleanliness.

There is a clear trend of frustration regarding amenities not matching what is advertised. Numerous guests reference the lack of promised wifi, especially when inclement weather made connectivity important. Some describe various facilities, like bathrooms and the game room, as out of order or not maintained. While certain amenities like the store and pool are occasionally praised, serious gaps between advertising and reality, as well as maintenance issues, are recurring complaints.

Guests describe staff as generally friendly and helpful, with several reviews highlighting positive office interactions. However, a moderate number of complaints point to inconsistent follow-through from management, especially when problems are reported. Some felt their concerns went unaddressed, which tempers the more positive impressions. Experiences seem to vary depending on the situation and which staff are encountered.

Guests have shared concerns about mismatched expectations regarding site features and additional visitor charges not clearly outlined. Some mention being disappointed when amenities or site privacy did not align with website promises. Offsetting these complaints, there are guests who had no major issues with the booking process and received their reserved site, indicating a mixed pattern. Clarity around reservation policies and site details may be an area for improvement.

Multiple reviews describe considerable challenges with noise, including ongoing traffic sounds from the nearby highway and late-night disruptions from loud events. Enforcement of quiet hours is noted as spotty, and guests report needing to contact security multiple times before peace is restored. The pattern suggests noise is a significant and recurring friction point for campers seeking a restful setting.

Campers report that while water pressure and amperage at sites are typically reliable, there are no true full-hookup sites in the campground. The dump station's inconvenient placement and the need for extra planning around pump-outs create additional hassle for longer stays. Some guests also note unlevel pads and occasional sewer or odor issues. For many RVers, these factors result in a less convenient experience, although basic hookup reliability is not frequently criticized.

Apple Creek Campground holds a below-average overall rating when all review sources are combined. Guests report recurring friction in several core areas, including cleanliness, amenities, and environmental quality. The general sentiment from recent reviews reflects consistent dissatisfaction among campers.

The shift is unmistakable: feedback on staff and owner interaction has trended downward over the last five years, with the most recent 28 reviewers at Apple Creek Campground reporting a notably less positive experience than those in earlier years. Where 8 reviewers in the first two years described warm and helpful staff, the last three years saw only 11 mentions, most of them mixed or negative, and the most recent reviews point to a colder reception. Site quality and maintenance have also drawn steady criticism, with 15 mentions in the last two years alone and little sign of improvement. While amenities and location still earn some praise, the consistent decline in staff interaction is the pattern to scrutinize. Read the latest reviews on staff and site condition closely before you book.

→

Site surfaces vary between gravel, dirt, and some grass. Both pull-through and back-in sites available, with length often accommodating big rigs and tow vehicles.

→

Some sites require disconnect. Power is available at all sites, with 20, 30, and 50-amp reported, but amperage quality is generally reliable with a few outages or low voltage in isolated sites. No true full-hookups anywhere.

→

Most sites are water and electric only, with dump station access and weekly/demand pump-out service. Spacing is highly variable: 'very close' in middle/main area, more spacious in the 'hill' or 400-series sites.

→

Sites on the perimeter and on the hill (400-series) are more spacious and less crowded than central/main area.
